Gordon Phillips, founder of Ouse Washes Molly Dancers, says:"This event has become the largest get-together of molly teams in the country, but we didn't aim for that in the beginning. We thought back then, don't remember exactly when, that it would be good to have a day in mid-winter when we danced in the places that it all comes from, or one of them, and get together with those friends we didn't dance with anymore."
